Harriet Bourton
Publishing Director, Viking Fiction
My list is largely defined by two strands. Firstly, brand publishing across a variety of genres and readerships, such as Richard Osman, Tana French, William Boyd, and previously Sophie Kinsella, Danielle Steel, Michael Connelly and John Grisham. And secondly, contemporary stories with an emotive core, particularly stories of lived female experience. This can range from warm, uplifting or reflective fiction, through to darker novels that explore a timely issue. In this space I have published Harriet Evans, Bryony Gordon, Deepa Paul, Tracy Sierra and Callie Coles.
